HUNGARIAN PORK GOULASH



Hungarian Pork Goulash image

We really enjoy pork, so I'm always searching for new recipes, especially those from ethnic backgrounds. Because of the sauerkraut in this goulash, my husband was hesitant to try it, but he ended up sopping up every drop with his bread. If you're like us and don't care for caraway seeds but like the flavor, grind or crush the caraway seeds.-Barbara Lundgren, New Brighton, Minnesota

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pork: For this recipe, it's best to use a pork shoulder or pork butt, which is a fatty cut of meat that will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Sear the pork before braising: Searing the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality sauerkraut: The sauerkraut is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for sauerkraut that is fermented naturally and has a tangy, sour flavor.
  • Add some juniper berries: Juniper berries are a traditional ingredient in German cooking and they add a unique flavor to this goulash. If you don't have juniper berries, you can substitute allspice berries.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or spaetzle: This goulash is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or spaetzle, but you can also serve it with rice or noodles.

This German pork and sauerkraut goulash is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The pork is tender and juicy, the sauerkraut is tangy and sour, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to become a family favorite.
